Basic Hydraulic Principles
CHAPTER 1 Basic Hydraulic Principles General Flow Characteristics In hydraulics, as with any technical topic, a full understanding cannot come without first becoming familiar with Basic terminology and governing Principles . The Basic concepts discussed in the following pages lay the foundation for the more complex analyses presented in later chapters. Flow Conveyance Water travels downhill from points of higher energy to points of lower energy (unless forced to do otherwise) until it reaches a point of equilibrium, such as an ocean. This tendency is facilitated by the presence of natural conveyance channels such as brooks, streams, and rivers. The water s journey may also be aided by man-made structures such as drainage swales, pipes, culverts, and canals.
